The ecoOne technology is designed to reduce operating expenditures and ecological footprint. The most striking feature is the ecoOne motor design which guarantees maximum electrical efficiency and a reduction of power consumption of up to 20%. Traditional pusher centrifuges have a separate pusher and drive motor, whereas centrifuges with ecoOne design only have one common motor. Since the full load of the drive motor is only required during the start-up process, it only operates at partial load during regular operation. At partial load electric motors operate at much lower efficiency and additionally a big portion the power which is drawn from the grid which is converted to blind power (phase shift). Both together sums up to reduction potential of 20% for both consumed and installed power. Design benefits of the ecoOne pusher centrifuge Besides the ecoOne motor design the ANDRITZ pusher centrifuge ecoOne is equipped with several innovative features. The centrifuge baskets are designed in a way that the machine can easily be transformed onsite from a two stage machine to a three stage/or PreFiltration machine without the need to replace the complete baskets. This an economic way of adjusting the machine to varying process conditions during its lifetime. Pusher centrifuges are often operated with highly corrosive and abrasive products. In such applications, regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure the efficiency and safe operation of the centrifuges. ANDRITZ pusher centrifuges rely on the well proven cartridge technology. The entire rotating unit is pulled out of the centrifuge in one piece without having to disconnect the machine's piping.
